Escape Route

Like the comment says, this stage was built in such a way that you are never, ever cornered. There are tons of not-so-secret passages and multiple ways out of each situation, though it doesn't work quite so well when more than one person is after you. There's generally a lot of blockage wherever you go to fight, but there's also an open path to the side of the screen somewhere, so don't expect to survive indefinitely. If you're feeling really ballsy, you can use the ladders underneath the stage to get from one side to the other. Even heavy characters like Bowser and Ganondorf can pull this off, but it's much harder for them. This is a great stage for people who love running around.
